Author's Note: A renga is supposed to be composed by several poets. One starts with a haiku, then another poet adds a couplet of 7 syllables per line, then a third poet adds a haiku, then a couplet, and so on. If the muse moves you, I invite you to add to my haiku in the comments. The only requirement would be that it would be about "The Blue Carbuncle."
